| | + | You may find that there is a learning curve when you start playing LegendMud. If you have played other muds in the past, you may find |
| | + | it easier to learn, but Legend has a number of unique features that differ from any other mud you've played. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Creating a Character===
| + | Legend has an extensive help system, if you type [[help|HELP]] it will give you a place to start! |
| − | Without further ado, let's get started. Load up Legend by clicking here: <span class="NewWindow">https://play.LegendMud.org</span>.

| − | Huzzah! Please type 2 and hit enter to start a new character.
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Enter the name of your character, pick something fun and if that's taken, try again.
| |
| − | # Pick a password.
| |
| − | # Yes you do want color, type yes. Then yes again, extended attributes are fine.
| |
| − | # Pick a gender, we only have two at this time.
| |
| − | # This is the fun part. Your hometown determines your abilities, magic users come from [[Arabian Nights]], great warriors from [[Medieval Germany]], and folks that use guns hail from [[London]] or [[San Francisco]]. Since we're brand new, hit 5 for now. We'll go to London.
| |
| − | # If you've ever played Dungeons and Dragons this should be familiar. Today, we'll start a gun fighter so we'll enter 345126. This will select the order of Dexterity, Constitution, Perception, Strength, Mind, Spirit. As a gun fighter you'll want to be able to dodge, have some hit points and shoot straight. So we put those up front.
| |
| − | # Read the code of conduct, answer Yes, press enter through until you can type: [1] Enter the game.

| − | Congratulations, you're in! You stand in The Jolly Beggar, the [[Inn]] for Industrial London. Type 'L' to [[LOOK]] around. That's what's in the room with you. Then, type i to see your [[Inventory]] you will have a knife, a lamp, a [[FAQ]], canteen, [[map]] and a piece of bread. For now, type 'wear [[weapon|knife]]'. You are now equipped to fight.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Type E to head East. In Legend, the world is comprised of rooms that lie in a grid of cardinal direction, you move between rooms by typing E, N, W, or S to head in that direction. If it's dark, then it's nighttime. type 'wear lamp' this will light the lamp for you so you can see. Type 'L' again.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the room, one of the things in that room will be 'A silvery grey bird is searching for food here.'
| |
| − | | |
| − | Type 'con pigeon' this will help you [[CONSIDER]] the pigeon. In this case, your chosen opponent is 'The Perfect Match!' which means, you can take this one down. Type kill pigeon.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After a couple rounds of combat you should have the fulfilling message of:
| |
| − | A pigeon falls to the ground dead, never to fly again, victim to your knife.
| |
| − | A pigeon is DEAD!!
| |
| − | You receive 308 experience.
| |
| − | You hear a pigeon's death cry.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Congratulations, your career has begun. Type 'sc' to open up your [[SCORE]]. This will show you not only your statistics but also your [[Experience]] and how much more to level. In this case, you have 1292 yet to go for your next level.
| |
| − | | |
| − | At this point, wander around town looking for pigeons, rats and cats to kill. If you see any other animals or people be sure to CONSIDER them before you attack them. Anything that isn't The Perfect Match! I encourage you to stay away from for now.
| |
| | | | |
| − | As you fight, be aware of your [[Hitpoints]] listed on your [[prompt]] as HP. MA is [[Mana]] and MV is [[Movement]]. For now, just make sure your HP stays above 0 or you'll die and if your movement gets too low you may not be able to move until it regenerates.
| + | Be patient with yourself, and the game. Feel free to ask questions! |
| | | | |
| − | If your HP or Move is low, type [[REST]]. This will have your character sit down and will increase your regeneration speed.
| + | When you log on your first character, you will receive an FAQ sheet, but this is our more exhaustive newbie guide! |
| − | | + | (This is currently a work-in-progress! It will be more exhaustive soon.) |
| − | London is a pretty safe town except for the Vampire of course. For now, don't go North at St. Stephen's Street and Harbor Row. Everywhere else is safe!
| |
| − | | |
| − | While you wander around town, you may run into people. If so, you can [[SAY]] to them if they're in the same room. If you'd like to communicate with just one other person not in the same room you can send them a [[TELL]]. Finally, if you want to chat with the entire MUD please use [[CHAT]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you get hungry or thirsty, type [[LIST]] in the inn. Samuel Norton has a selection of food and beverage for you. If your lamp goes out, he will let you [[LIST|BUY]] one of those as well.
